HAVE WE GOT A TREAT FOR YOU... Working People will be taking a much-needed break next week, but never fear—we've got something special to hold you over. Last week, Max drove 14 hours from Baltimore to Bessemer, Alabama, to report on the historic Amazon union drive for The Real News Network. While he was down there, Max was fortunate enough to snag an interview with world-renowned actor, activist, and TRNN Board member Danny Glover, who came to Bessemer to show solidarity with Amazon workers. Max and Danny talk about why this union drive is so significant, and about the long history of labor struggle in the South.

We are excited to announce that we got permission from TRNN to publish this special interview on the Working People feed and share it with our listeners! Follow TRNN and subscribe to their YouTube and podcast channels for more of their upcoming coverage on the workers' struggle in Bessemer.
